### 6.4 Mapping element paths to output formats

Instead of simply mapping each element to a single output format, DITA2Go supports mapping element paths, so you can choose different output formats for the same block or inline element where it appears at different levels or in different hierarchies of your DITA document.

Most of the configuration settings that involve mapping elements to output formats use element paths as the key, to allow you to differentiate based on document hierarchy. Configuration template d2g_config.ini contains the full default set of maps that DITA2Go uses; see §39.1.3 Understanding how templates are chained together.
